Yes. After the OVMS wakes the car up, the TCU puts the car back to sleep 
if it is connected. As far as I know this is true for all models 
2011-2017. In 2016 & 2017 model year cars with a TCU, the hands-free 
bluetooth microphone is routed through the TCU, so you can't unplug the 
TCU without breaking bluetooth hands free calling. I haven't explored a 
workaround beyond staring at the wiring diagram. I have read that if you 
try longer and harder you can win the fight with the TCU but I haven't 
tried this.

There is no CAN write configuration in the v3, CAN write is always 
enabled and hence you don't need to enable it.
